[0027] A conveyor belt mechanism 2 and a plurality of lifting components 3 are arranged on the frame 1. The plurality of lifting components 3 are arranged in groups of two and are arranged above the conveyor belt mechanism 2. A fan 4 and a water cooling pump 5 are respectively arranged on the two groups of lifting components 3.

[0028] The fan 4 is connected to an air duct 41, and the water cooling pump 5 is connected to an atomizing pipe 51;

[0029] An annealing plate 6 is obliquely arranged on one side of the frame 1 ; the annealing plate 6 is a rectangular hollow plate and its inner wall is curved to form a water flow channel 61 ; a water cooling assembly 7 is arranged below the annealing plate 6 .

[0030] In this embodiment, after the ductile iron castings are annealed twice by the fan 4 and the water-cooling pump 5, the workpieces can be conveyed to the annealing plate 6 again through the conveyor belt mechanism 2. At this time, the user sets a water cooling component 7 so that the water source in the water cooling component 7 can be conveyed to the water flow trough 61, and the annealing plate 6 is cooled. At this time, the ductile iron castings on the annealing plate 6 can be cooled for the third time through the annealing plate 6 and the water flow trough 61. Compared with the annealing treatment in the cited document, the three annealing treatments of this application can not only form different cooling rates and temperature gradients in different regions, but also achieve rapid cooling, reduce annealing time, and improve production efficiency.

[0031] Specifically, refer to Figure 1-2 The water cooling assembly 7 includes a water tank 71 disposed below the annealing plate 6 , a water cooling fan 72 is mounted on the side of the water tank 71 , and two water inlet valves 77 are disposed on the outer side of the water tank 71 .

[0032] In this embodiment, in actual use, the water inlet valve 77 can be used to inject cooling water into the water tank 71, thereby achieving cooling treatment of the annealing plate 6. The user can connect the power supply to the water cooling fan 72, so that the water cooling fan 72 can ensure that the water source in the water tank 71 is always in a low temperature state.

[0033] Specifically, refer to Figure 1-2 A water pump 73 is mounted on the upper end surface of the water tank 71 . An input end of the water pump 73 is connected to a water pumping pipe 74 , which extends into the water tank 71 .

[0034] In this embodiment, the user can connect the water pump 73 to a power source to drive the water pump 73. At this time, the water pump 73 is connected to the water pump 73 through the provided water pumping pipe 74, so that the water pump 73 can draw the cooling water in the water tank 71 to the water outlet pipe 75 for discharge, and then the cooling water enters the annealing plate 6 to achieve cooling treatment of the annealing plate 6.

[0035] Specifically, refer to Figure 1-2The output end of the water pump 73 is connected to a water outlet pipe 75 , and the water tank 71 is connected to a return pipe 76 .

[0036] In this embodiment, the water outlet pipe 75 is provided to discharge the cooling water drawn from the water tank 71 and circulate through the water flow trough 61. After the cooling water passes through the water flow trough 61 for one cycle, it can flow back to the water tank 71 through the reflux pipe 76 to realize the water recovery process.

[0037] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 The tail end and the front end of the water flow trough 61 are both provided with holes, the return pipe 76 is connected to the tail end hole of the water flow trough 61, and the outlet pipe 75 is connected to the front end hole of the water flow trough 61.

[0039] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 Each lifting assembly 3 includes two lifting seats 31 arranged on the frame 1. The lifting seats 31 are provided with a slide groove, and a slider seat 32 is slidably provided in the slide groove. An adjusting screw rod 33 is threadedly connected to the lifting seats 31, and the adjusting screw rod 33 is meshed with the slider seat 32. A mounting plate 34 is provided between the two slider seats 32.

[0040] In this embodiment, in actual use, the user rotates the adjusting screw rod 33, and through the meshing connection between the adjusting screw rod 33 and the slider seat 32, the slider seat 32 is limited by the slide groove on the lifting seat 31, so that the slider seat 32 can drive the mounting plate 34 to move linearly up and down along the slide groove of the lifting seat 31. At this time, the user adjusts the position of the slider seat 32 on the two sets of lifting components 3 in turn, so as to adjust the position of the fan 4 and the water-cooling pump 5. By adjusting the position of the fan 4 and the water-cooling pump 5, different cooling speeds and temperature gradients can be formed in different areas for workpieces of different sizes, so that the cooling medium can evenly cover the surface of the entire ductile iron casting, avoiding uneven annealing caused by local cooling that is too fast or too slow.

[0041] The utility model of ductile iron casting annealing equipment:

[0042] Step 1: When the operator is annealing the ductile iron casting, the workpiece to be processed is placed on the conveyor mechanism 2, and the workpiece is conveyed by the conveyor mechanism 2. Then, the lifting assembly 3 is rotated and adjusted, and the screw rod 33 is rotated and adjusted. The meshing connection between the screw rod 33 and the slider seat 32 is adjusted, and the slider seat 32 is limited by the slide groove on the lifting seat 31, so that the slider seat 32 can drive the mounting plate 34 to move linearly along the slide groove of the lifting seat 31. At this time, the user adjusts the position of the slider seat 32 on the two sets of lifting assemblies 3 in turn, so as to realize the position adjustment of the fan 4 and the water-cooling pump 5;

[0043] Step 2: The user adjusts the height of the fan 4 and the water-cooling pump 5 according to the size of the ductile iron casting workpiece, and then connects the fan 4 and the water-cooling pump 5 to a power source and connects the water-cooling pump 5 to a water source, so that the water-cooling pump 5 can be used to perform preliminary atomization water-cooling annealing on the ductile iron casting first, and then, driven by the conveyor belt mechanism 2, the workpiece is conveyed to the bottom of the fan 4 for a second air-cooling annealing treatment;

[0044] Step 3: After the ductile iron parts are annealed twice by the fan 4 and the water-cooling pump 5, the workpieces can be conveyed to the annealing plate 6 again through the conveyor belt mechanism 2. At this time, the user injects water into the water tank 71 and drives the water pump 73 to operate. At this time, the two ends of the water pump 74 and the water outlet pipe 75 are connected, so that the water in the water tank 71 can be conveyed to the water flow trough 61 through the water outlet pipe 75, and the annealing plate 6 is cooled. At this time, the ductile iron parts on the annealing plate 6 can be cooled for the third time through the annealing plate 6 and the water flow trough 61.
